I'm in Copenhagen (BerlinCanary precedes this message board)

so all Germans are ridiculed ...

But I lived in Berlin for four years and Bayern Munich are hated everywhere outside Munich (to the extent that much of Germany supported Manure in that Euro Cup Final). Matth?us (get the spelling right this time ...) was such an arrogant prick in everything he did that, despite captaining a successful national side, everyone hated him. Stefan Effenberg had much the same attitude and therefore effect on his countrymen. Don't know about Ribbeck really; but they all love Klinsi ...

Have you ever seen the video of Trappatoni losing it at a press conference when he managed Bayern? His parting shot of "ich habe fertig" (should be "ich bin fertig") became legendary in Germany and was used on SPD posters of a glum looking Kohl during the elections of 1998.
